Boston has secured notable rankings in the Food & Wine Global Tastemakers Awards, coming in at No. 6 for pastries and No. 7 for coffee in the U.S. Notable pastry places include Mike's Pastry and Modern Pastry for Italian treats, while new establishments like Michette and Flour Bakery are making waves with unique desserts. The city's coffee scene thrives with institutions like Pavement and George Howell's roasts catering to the many college students, enhancing Boston's reputation as a culinary hub.
Bostonians with a sweet tooth have long trekked to the North End for Italian treats like cannoli and biscotti at Mike's Pastry and Modern Pastry, and pastéis de nata at countless Portuguese bakeshops. In more recent years, a sugar-fueled boost has come from additions like Michette, with twice-baked almond croissants, and breakfast focaccia laden with bacon and bechamel sauce. At Flour Bakery, Joanne Chang's sticky buns and chocolate-hazelnut cookies steal the show.
So many colleges, so many cups of coffee and campuses, Boston finds itself in a top coffee ranking thanks to quality roasters like George Howell and popular spots like Pavement, which cater to the throngs of students.
